Check out this Japanese brand Otsuka Lotec

[Steele]

I recently went to Japan and was looking for a No6 especially the Meteorite version. Impossible to find!! I paid a little over 6k and am very satisfied to have this in my collection as it’s a real statement piece.

Ended up getting this one on EBay and learned the best time to pick one up is right after the Lottery. I tried to join the lottery a correctly I couldn’t because you need a Japanese address and CC, so my buddy in Japan registered and we didn’t win in the last lottery.

A little about the watch. The fit and finish is amazing and I love the details of the Bezel and dial, The small openwork window has the gear that's spinning is the Seconds hand. The double retrograde is amazing especially when you flip from midnight to a new day as both hands and the Date wheel jump. "Very Genta inspired". The design language is so FRESH compared to the norm that’s getting pumped out by the big boys.


The only complaint I have is the strap, it’s way underwhelming and the pin buckle is low quality compared to the Case.
